Chapter 485 Chapter 480 Five: Nothing to do

Winter to spring.

Now it's early spring, and the warmer weather is gradually becoming suitable for war.

Both Veigar and the Kingdom are speculating that the Empire may use the Dragon City as a springboard to formally embark on the road to conquer the Kingdom at the end of spring. Therefore, the Kingdom has sent letters several times asking Veigar to fulfill his promise and march towards the Empire.

Veigar certainly wasn't prepared to break his word this time.

But if you want to wage war on other countries, you must stabilize the internal situation and unite the entire country.

As long as he marries Shia and becomes the prince of the holy dynasty, his position will be as stable as Mount Tai. No one can shake his position in righteousness. He is the real orthodox.His order will also gain the trust and support of the people unconditionally.

So in Veigar's plan.

One month later, she will be married to Xi Ya, and after the wedding, she will take advantage of the momentum in the country to launch the Nuolan Empire.

This time, it will be a battle of revenge.

Veigar wanted the empire to understand how wrong it was to abandon him again and again.

Veigar, even if he leaves the empire, he can still live safely.

But early this morning, Yi Luo reported several important things to him——

First, the empire unilaterally banned import and export trade with the dynasty in many civilian fields by losing one thousand to itself and killing eight hundred enemies. As a result, the dynasty lost the largest export market of the empire, and domestic economic problems began to emerge.

Second, the domestic public opinion seems to be manipulated by people with serious intentions. The original support rate of Vega and Shia's wedding has changed from 37 to 46, and is turning towards 55.

Third, the palace guards have recently captured a large number of assassins. Veigar has personally killed three or four assassins in the past few days. They are undoubtedly members of the imperial court system.

But the assassin didn't attack Shia.

Veigar knew the reason for this, because Shia's death would not only prevent the internal collapse of the Holy Dynasty, but also unite the whole country and launch unprecedented revenge against the empire.

After all, Shia is their belief.

Now that the empire dares to kill their beliefs, it is unknown what the crazy citizens will do.

But this set of combined punches really made Vega a little overwhelmed.

"Through such indecent means, let me postpone the wedding date first?"

Vega sneered, and ordered to Qi Lisi: "Notify Holt Scimitar in the empire, I don't care if he has organized his staff, I need him to start fighting against the empire's trial system immediately, half a month later I don't want the judicial system to have extra energy to assassinate me."

"I'll do it now." Qi Lisi left with anger.

The reason why she was angry was, of course, that the imperial judging system was so bold that it tried to take the life of her most important person, which made Qi Lisi unable to restrain the anger in her heart.

Moreover, although the assassination did not pose any threat to Veigar, it had to be resolved.

If an assassin appears on the day of the wedding, not to mention the impact on the wedding, it will directly hit Veigar's prestige, making Veigar a laughing stock, and the people will question Veigar's ability to protect Shia's safety.

After solving the enemy's turbulent tactics, the next step is to guide public opinion.

Vega looked at Menno: "I will let the army cooperate with you. On the day of the wedding, I don't want to hear any discordant voices. If you fail to do this well, you can go back to the kingdom."

Mennuo hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and answered quickly.

If Veigar stopped protecting him, he might be killed before stepping into the kingdom's territory. This made him secretly determined that he would rather kill him than miss him.

After solving these two problems, the last economic problem remains.

He looked at Yiluo and the Minister of Finance: "Do you two have any advice on the trade war against the empire? To be honest, I am not very good at this kind of 'soft' method, and there is no good way for a while."

Yi Luo looked at the Minister of Finance.

Although he has been working very hard to learn this knowledge recently, it is a pity that he has a specialization in the art industry, and he has little understanding of this kind of economic war.

After carefully looking at Veigar, the Minister of Finance stood up.

He tremblingly said to Vega: "Report to the Prime Minister, because the empire has restricted the import and export trade of 578 major industries in our country and raised the tariffs of 1100 industries regardless of losses. Bankruptcy, once these chambers of commerce go bankrupt, it will directly cause mass unemployment and indirectly lead to economic depression.”

What are the consequences of a recession?
When people have no jobs and no economic income, it will cause social unrest.And if the society is in turmoil, then the Queen's wedding at this time will not only not get support, but will be criticized.

The empire's set of combined punches is almost bloody.

Veigar understood the powerful relationship, so he continued to ask the Minister of Finance: "Is there no way to solve this problem? The effect of force has always been mutual. Since the empire promulgated these bans, it is impossible for them to have no losses. So how did they get through it?"

"Report to the Prime Minister."

The Chancellor of the Exchequer talked about his field gradually forgetting his fears, and began to talk eloquently: "The empire mainly adopts economic subsidies to keep these industries alive, so that they can ensure the normal operation of the domestic economy and be able to support the day when the trade is thawed."

"Can't we take the same countermeasures?"

"It is possible, but this is a way to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause."

The Minister of Finance said with some distress: "Although our country's economy cannot be compared with the empire, it is not completely powerless. The only thing to consider is that we don't know when this kind of money-burning economic war will end. If you want to start a war against other countries in the future, I am afraid that the national treasury will not be able to spend enough military expenses."

Veigar understood the key point.

It turns out that the empire used money from its own treasury to stabilize the domestic economy and prevent large-scale bankruptcy of chambers of commerce, so that too many civilians would not be unemployed, and if no one was unemployed, there would naturally be no social turmoil.

Veigar could indeed take the same approach.

However, the empire has always been very stable. Except for the northern part of the empire being plundered by the kingdom, other places have basically not been affected by the flames of war.Although the Holy Dynasty has always been a wealthy country, and even surpassed the empire economically at its peak, it has just been plowed by the kingdom, and most of the treasury is used for post-war reconstruction.

With the current economic strength, this trade war is not impossible.

But once it starts to fight, it will be a bottomless pit. What Vega is afraid of is that the military expenses used for the war will be taken into it.

The ultimate purpose of the empire is obviously to make Veigar unable to support the kingdom by invading the empire. At this moment, Veigar discovered that the victory of a war can still be determined without soldiers, weapons, or undead.

How to solve this problem?
In the completely unfamiliar 'battlefield', for the first time, Veigar was completely helpless, and he might really be trapped in the country if this continues.
